Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by HenryTemplo was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

A couple more sources like the first one should prove notability, have a great day!

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Frederick Robert Newton and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Frederick Robert Newton, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, are you in favor of keeping David Brown (radio host)? Normally, if you want to keep an article in a deletion discussion you start your line with *'''Keep''' to clearly indicate that you are !voting for a specific course of action. Or if you want a more neutral starter you could do *'''Comment'''. TipsyElephant (talk) 19:01, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, thank you, I will add that. Relinus (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just dropping a note of thanks for your creation of Ursula Newell Gestefeld. Seems like a rather notable topic. Good find! Keep it up, don;t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Yes, I hope to work on expanding the topic more when I have a chance. Relinus (talk) 23:35, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Relinus, if you are interested in expanding the article I found this on Google Books. I also found another book solely about him but I have no access to the content so I added a Further reading section and included it there. Also, based on the sources I updated the name of the magazine from New York Christian Advocate to Christian Advocate, for which there is a Wikipedia article. You might also considered adding something about him there as well. S0091 (talk) 18:47, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I'll take a look at those and expand when I get a chance. Relinus (talk) 03:12, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited American Society of News Editors, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kenneth MacDonald. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:03, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, noticed your interest in CareerTech in Oklahoma. Also noticed your run-in above with getting an article accepted. I’ve been trying to get a separate page for the Autry Technology Center, being the CareerTech school in Enid, but have run up against a reviewer who thinks it isn’t “notable” enough. You might want to check out the Autry page, then click on the "deletion discussion page" link, second line from the top, and—if you agree the page should stay—leave a comment recommending that it not be deleted. Thanks. TulGuy (talk) 20:08, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TulGuy, I'd recommend checking out Wikipedia:GNG for guidelines on what constitutes a notable source. Also, I find archive.org is a good place to look for sources as there are many books there you can search through and read just by creating a free account. I hope that helps you look for more sources to prove notability. Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to help you find sources for this. Cheers. - Relinus (talk) 20:28, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I removed the criticism section from the introduction at Jill Stein. You can participate in the discussion about it on the talk page if you believe it should be included.--User:Namiba 22:36, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please take better care when restoring deleted content, especially in BLPs. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 21:38, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh? It appeared someone was deleting cited content. Sorry if I was wrong. Relinus (talk) 21:50, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was technically cited, just to sources that are far below the standard for WP:BLPRS. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 22:04, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Relinus, On the basis that you not only created, but also made so many valuable, subsequent contributions to the article Robert Hanham Collyer, I am writing to let you know that, to the best of my ability, I have exhausted all of the (to me) possible avenues through which further additions/contributions can be made; and, from this, I am considering nominating the article, in its current form, for recognition as a GOOD ARTICLE.
While recognizing that, as a contributor, you are specifically excluded from examining/approving such an application, I was wondering whether you would be able to have a quick glance at the current version of the article, and let me know if you think there are (a) any problems, (b) any statements that need further justification, and/or (c) anything missing that, in your view, needs to be included.
(Just, by the way, for your interest, I have been completely unable to find even the slightest objective verification of the claim that, in those terms, he ever had anything to do with an invention, or a patent, or anything else connected with an "improvement to breech loading cannons"), Thanks Lindsay658 (talk) 22:36, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving the article so much, I've been thinking it might be something to eventually nominate as a Good Article as well. I'm pretty busy right now IRL but I will go through the article to improve it as much as I can.

As for the breech loading cannons, I got that from the Edgar Allan Poe Society online bio. The bio was helpful for starting out the article but might not be a totally reliable source in general and could easily have gotten things wrong, so I'll take the mention of cannons out. Actually if everything else is cited with better sources I might even delete that source entirely. Relinus (talk) 02:37, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it looks like you found another source that mentions it. Maybe I'll just add a note or something... Relinus (talk) 02:44, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "source" of the "claim" was Collyer himself. Lindsay658 (talk) 04:22, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
